In the spirit of shark week we decided to show you some videos of these amazing creatures. Discovery Channel does a great job of showing different species of sharks and how scary they can actually be, but i have never seen something like this. While reeling in a 4-foot white shark, the passengers of this boat got a shocking surprise. A massive grouper jumps out of the water and swallows the shark in one bite. With groupers being known to grow up to 8-feet-long and over 600 pounds, I think I'm good on getting in the water for a while.
